The views from the Duero-Douro International Biological Station and its cruises are spectacular: Arribes del Duero / Douro International: river canyons with rock walls exceeding 200 meters, Mediterranean vegetation, and birds of prey such as griffon vultures and golden eagles. Lake Sanabria: crystal-clear waters surrounded by mountains and forests, with unique panoramic views from the solar-powered catamaran. Miranda do Douro: views of the river and the Portuguese historic center, especially at sunset.

Year of inauguration: 1914. Designed by the engineer José Eugenio Ribera, a pioneer in the use of reinforced concrete in Spain.

This park is located just outside the city center on the N-128 road toward the Santa Lucía neighborhood. It is a large park, located below the walled area of the Castle, on the banks of the Fresno River. Here, the river is dammed, and there is a bar-café with a very pleasant terrace where you can enjoy a drink, and where you can practice non-motorized water sports, such as canoeing or taking a trip along the river by renting a pedal boat. There is a significant gradient from the road to the riverbank, and numerous paths and pedestrian trails for leisurely strolls.
